Our Story

30 years of kicking cancer, together

Grand Master Choi founded “Kick Cancer Out of This World” after losing his father to cancer. Three decades later, our whole community carries it forward. This year, artist Josh Yavelberg has donated a mural that turns our students, instructors, and loved ones into heroes — a lasting symbol of resilience, discipline, and hope. 100% of public donations go to our cancer charity partner.

Ways to Give

Three ways to make an impact

Every gift is tax-deductible and goes straight to the fight against cancer.

From $100

Your name goes on a pine board in our lobby stack. At the October event we break the whole stack — then mail your board back to you with a certificate. ($25 community boards and $500/$1,000 stacks too.)
